When asked to speak at this conference on the topic, "What Library
Schools Offer that School Library Media Specialists and Youth Services
Librarians Need," it was decided that personal experience needed to be
supplemented with curriculum revision at Michigan and with the rather
sketchy knowledge of what some colleagues at other universities are doing
in library education for youth services with current information from other
programs. Many library school catalogs, including Michigan's, did not
reflect the most recent developments, and the professional literature
seemed to focus more on what is not being done rather than what is being
done.
